A terrible retribution has fallen upon the brutal
regiment known as Ellsworth’s Fire Zouaves.—
The Louisiana Zouaves were let loose upon them,
but, by some means, the Fire Zouaves obtained a
Confederate flag, and, for a lime, confusion reign
ed. At last, however, the Louisianans recovered
themselves, and, hastily throwingaway their guns,
they drew their long knives and closed in, man to
man, with their foes. The struggle was short and
deadly. The Fire Zouaves, who for months, have
been the terror of woman and children wherever
thev have errmp throw thorncol^oQ their
knees and pleaded for mercy. But mercy there
was none. No quarters were shown, ana only a
scanty remnant of the famous Fire Zouaves saved
themselves by flight. So has the death of Jackson
been avenged at last.
Our troops have captured 500 new army wagons
ot the most approve make, about 20,000 stand
of excellent arms aud an amount of ammunition
and stores that would seem almost credible.
Bartow’s gallautry upon the field was most con-
spicious. When Beauregard pointed out to him a
battery to be taken, he replied, “I will take it, if
mortal man can do it!” He first led up the 8tli
Georgia Regiment, and took the battery ; but fin
ding himseifunable to hold it, he retired. Almost
immediately afterwards he led up the 7th Ga. Reg
iment, in the performance of which duty he was
shot. The only words he uttered were “Boys,
they have killed me, but never give up this field
to the enemy !”
Gen. Beauregard did not lead the Hampton Le
gion into action as has been stated. He led a
large body of troops in which the Legion was in
cluded.—Ch. Mercury, 27.

interesting incident.
A correspondent of the Petersburg Ex
press relates the following :
One of the most interesting incidents of
the battle is presented iu the case of Wi
ley P. Manguni, jr. son of Ex-Senator M.,
of N. C. This young man was attached to
Colonel Fisher’s Regiment. I believe, and
owes the preservation of his life t« a copy
of the Bible presented to him by his sister.
He had the good book in bis left coat pock
et. It was struck by a ball near the edge
bat the book changed the direction of the
bullet, and it glanced off, inflicting a se
vere, but not dangerous flesh wound. The
book was saturated with blood, but the ad
vice written on a fly leaf by a sister who
gave it, was perfectly legible. It read
thus : “ To my brother. He will read a
portion of this blessed word every day,
remember his sister.”
Mr. Russell, the correspondent of the
London Times, was present at the Manas
sas battle, and pronounced it one of the
hardest fought battles he ever witnessed.
A Fight in Braxton County—The Lincolnites
Caught in a Trap and Whipped.—A few days since,
Col. l’yler, who was formerly a Yankee fur-trader
in the Northwestern counties of this State, and
who is now stationed at Weston, in Lewis county,
and commands Lincoln’s ruffians there, determined
to make an excursion into Braxton county; but
the Colonel was frustrated in his designs. Some
of the Braxton boys learning bis plans, determin
ed to head him off, and accordingly selected a
point on the road he was travelling suitable for
their purpose, and accomplished their designs in
the following manner:
At a point where the Colonel had to ascend a
long hill they felled trees in bis path and fell back
to a convenient point, where they laid in ambush
until he passed. They then felled trees in his
rear also, thus completely catching bim in a trap.
They then fired upon him, killing some fifty or
sixty of his men and captaring many of his horses,
&c. This enterprise, we nnderstand, was con
ducted by one of the backwoodsmen of the coun
ty, and, from its success, we presume that Colonel
Tyler, who is said to have accomplished some gal
lant exploits iu another capacity in that section of
country, will be a little more careful in his excur
sions of rapine and plunder on the Braxton peo
ple.— Richmond Enquirer^

Gir.ORG I A REGULARS.
This Regiment is commanded by Col. Charles J. Williams, and has been stationed at Fort
Pulaski, and Tybee, until recently, when it waa ordered to Virginia by the Secretary of War.
INDEPENDENT REGIMENTS.
Under an act of Congress, Presid ant Davis has accepted a number of eompani«» from Georgia,
which have been formed into Regiments. The organisation of the latter has not been reported to
the State Executive, and therefore liso officers cannot be ascertained from the Adjutant General’s of
fice Tho Regiments are generally known, however, as Bartow’s, Conner’s, MeLavvs’, Printnp’s and
Fetor’s the latter being called the Toombs Regiment. In addition to these, there will soon be in
the field T. R. R. Cobb’s Legion, Gov. Cobb’s Regiment, and several others now in {recess of forma-
_ o’ Phillies’ Brigade baa been several weeks in camp of instruction nerjr Marietta, and is
•o„n to receive marching orders. All these show a force of about 25,000 men whic b Georgia has ft»r-
nished the Confederate States, and more than double this number can be raised wh en necessary.
Tho roll of officers in this Table is believed to be accurate; but it is passible that, a fsw errors may
be found where the examination was so extensive, amid entries made urith grect to koep
the record of commissions issued since the war commenced. If any errors are perc eirod,tbvwill of
course becorrected on notice of the feet Officers are sometimes changed by proLspurn, wbeh or-
cumstance is not aliv&ys notified to the Executive.

to a planter of South Carolina:
Confederate States of America, )
Trersury Department, >
Richmond, July 11,1861. )
Hon. O. M. Dantzler, St. Matthew's Parish, S. C.
SIR: Your letter of the 6th instant, makes an
enquiry which I find repeated from several other
quarters, to which I think it best to make a public
reply. The enquiry is, whether, in case no sales
ean be made before the day named, m the cotton
subscriptions, without a sacrifice of the property, the
sales are still to be insisted on. I answer, certain
ly not. The day named is upon the presumption that
the blockade will be broken, and the sales of pro
duce can be then made. I propose to submit an
other plan to provide for the contingency of a con-
tinance of the blockade, which will allow an indefi
nite retention of the crop. But it constitutes no
part of either plan to force the produce on the mar
ket at a sacrifice.
With much respect,
Your obedient servant,
C. G. Mem winger,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Direct Taxatior.—The Lincoln Government,
has prepared a direct taxation bill, in which a cer
tain amount is apportioned to each State, to be
raised for the support of war measures. The fol
lowing are the amounts to be called for from the
Confederate States : Virginia, $1,406,326 : North
Carolina, $864,292; South Carolina, $545,356;
Georgia, $876,551; Alabama, $790,820; Mississip
pi, $619,627 ; Louisiana, $578,803 ; Tennessee,
$1,004,247; Arkansas, $392,829; Florida, $116,-
284; Texas, $532,660.
If any attempt should be made to collect this tax.
one thing is very certain, that it will cost the Fed
eral Government vastly more than the amount as
sessed ; while its tax gatherers will find the route
through Dixie, a “hard road to travel.”
[ Augusta Constitutionalist, 28.
The Bank Convention.—A dispatch to the
Charleston Mercury dated Richmond, July 26th,
says:
The Bank Convention adjournd to-day, after ex
pressing the opinion in favor of the Government
issuing $100,600,000 of Treasury Notes, in addition
to the amount already authorized. It is recom
mended that notes of the denominations of five, ten
and twenty dollars do not bear interest. Other
denominations to bear interest at the rate of 7 3-10
per cent.
Gen. Albert S. Johnston, has arrived from
the Pacific slope, where he resigned his command
on hearing of tLe breaking out of the war between
North and South. Gen. A. S. Johnston com
manded the army in Utah, and is a Kentuckian.
He is an officer of great ability, and will doubtless
receive a high commaud in the Confederate army.
He is said to be accompained by one hundred
select volunteers.
Rumor seemes to authorize the conjecture that
he will be placed at the head of all operations in
the Mississippi Valley.
Washington, July 26.—The Second Ohio Regi
ment have delivered up their arms and gone home.
Several other regiments have also gone home.
Fifteen thousand Confederates are at Fairfax,
mounting seige gnns. Several officers, as a reward
for their courage, have been authorized to raise
regiments.
New regiments are being constantly accepted.
In the House, McClernand, of Illinois, said the
House should make provision for further resources,
or else the Government’s credit would faii.
Wright said it had failed already.
In the House, the Committee on direct tax meets
with violent opposition.
It is a curious fact that Robert Garnett, who was
killed at St. George, was the professional instruc
tor of McClelland, at West Point. He taught him

loss of his active and judicious effort for the pro

of this Society, whom it takes pride in commem
orating, and in evidence thereof, the members are
requested to wear the usual badge of mourning

rents our heartfelt condolence, and transmit to

Resolutions iu testimony thereof.

At a called meeting of the Governor’s Horse
Guards, convened this day at 3 o’clock, P. M., the
following resolutions reported by a committee con
sisting of Sergeant Harris, Corporal Mapp, and
Corporal Beall, were unanimously adopted by the
company.
Resolved, 1st. That this company do hereby ex
press our thanks for the kind and hospitable man
ner in which we were received aud entertained by
the commissioners and citizens of Monticello du
ring our short stay in their town.
Resolved, 2d. That especially to the fair ladies of
that town, many thanks are due, as they contri
buted much to the enjoyment of our corps. May
their beauty ever be unrivalled and their patriot
ism as unflinching as that which characterised the
women of 1776; and finally when the storm cloud
of battle has passed away, and peace shall again
smile npon our land, may their hearts still beat
true to the soldier—to those who will never forget
their kindness.
Resolved, 3d. That the Milledgeville papers be
requested to publish a copy of these resolutions.

At a meeting held by the Oconee Grays to-day,
Capt. J. W. Shinholser in the chair, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That we the members of the Oconee
Grays, before striking oar tents, to return to oar
homes make a public acknowledgement to
oar friends, for the kindness and liberality they
Lave manifested to us during our weeks encamp
ment. And while we return our gratitude and
thanks to the people of this community at large,
we would not forget to mention more particularly,
the names of onr friends James Stevens, James
Jackson, 8. J. Stubbs and R. N. Parker, who con-
tributed so largely to onr wants and comfort; and
we hope their garners may be as bonntifnlly sup
plied as those who seemed to feel tbe times too
nard to contribute at all,—but we hope they feel
none the less interested in onr country’s cause, and
common struggle for liberty.
And we beg leave to retnrn onr wannest thanks
to Prof. Lane of the Oglethorpe University, who
cheered ns in onr camps on Thursday with one of
his able sermons from the text—“ And the soldiers
likewise demanded of him, saying : and what shall
we do-” And we feel truly grateful to him for the
presentation of twenty-six testaments which he pat
in charge of onr Captain, requesting him to put two
in each camp chest when the company shall be
called into service.
We also beg leave to return onr warmest thanks
to Mr. E. Camming, of Irw inton. Rev. Mr. Parrott
the representative of the Bnndridge Rifles. Lieut.

Gray*, Maj. W. Napier, of Baldwin, and J. T.
Hugos, of Wilkinson, for the able and patriotic
speeches made by them to the soldiers and eitiaens
in attendance on Thursday.
And in Concluaior, we wonld thank all of onr
friends who took so deep an interest in onr enjoy
ment on Thursday. And when we are called into
service, as we ram the cartridge and draw the
sword open the field of battle, the remembrance of
thaw friends will give ns firm hearts and strong
to meet saconsfuHy the fee.
